The grant to the University of Beira, an institution based in Portugal is to support two projects which are two master’s theses, research on the implementation of Tezos for event logging of robots in factory environments and two Ph.D. theses, on tools for the static analysis of smart contracts in programming languages.

Decentralized Et Consulting, LLC. will get a grant to continue the main reason for its establishment which is to actively research new methods for decentralization and provide blockchain solutions for such opportunities. The Institute is a research institution founded by Gordon Speagle of the College of Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
